rivalry meaning they are of equal skills/talent. And have fought a few times, each winning and losing to the other.

Shawn Porter v. Danny Jacobs
Shawn Porter v. Fernando Guerrero
Charles Hatley v. Keith Thurman
Gary Russell, Jr. v. Roberto Marroquin

Those are the ones that come to my mind, other than Williams v. Williams which was already mentioned.

Internationally there were some great rivalries like Serafim Todorov-Enrique Carrion (4-3) who met in three straight World Championship finals. Also Francisc Vastag-Alfredo Duvergel (4-1) met in two World Championship finals. Another great rivalry was between Kostya Tszyu and Andreas Zülow (4-2).

I like the Shawn Porter/Danny Jacobs rivalry. How do you think the bout would go if they fought as pros?

I don't think that it is a matter of "if" Shawn Porter and Danny Jacobs meet as Pros, it is more like "when", and I think that Danny Jacobs won't have anyone to help dust him off after the knockdown. He will have to crawl to his corner on his own.

Then what'll happen when Porter runs into Dominic Wade as a pro; if you want to talk about dusting off after a knockdown.

Wade held Porter the whole fight! Porter would destroy Wade as a pro!

Except for the part where Porter faceplanted off of Wade's right hand.

I'm just kidding, by the way. All of them are young, who knows what would happen as pros. Although I thought Porter was doing a lot of the wrestling in Houston.

Ok I guess i gotta set you straight 1st Wade caught Porter with a right hand that is true ... Porter gets up quick and goes right at Wade and for the rest of the fight Wade cant handle PORTERS pressure (ask any boxers in that wt classwho has fought him ) so the ref warns and cautions then takes points, Wade continues to hold and the ref DQ'S wade FOR HOLDING !
Coach Davis files a grievence they look at the film and determin wade held Porter over and over the ref repeatedly warned wade and the Protest was thrown out end of story.
1 punch dont make a fight nor a career . And speaking of careers dont you box in the 165 wt class ? I dont think i have seen you @ the Nationals how is it woking out for you ?would you like to STEP UP YO GAME ? cause we can make it happen ------------sign on the line

I know, I saw the video of the fight. I think you missed the part where I said I'm kidding. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to fight Shawn, based on how relentless he is. I just hope that one day I'll be able to compete on that level with them, because I respect all the guys who go to Nationals and obviously those who have reached the level in the amateurs Porter has.
